Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Can’t stop long! Got to figure out a Plan B for the Weekend Wow!! Where did all those little printed parchment poppets fly off to, I wonder?!? So happy you like them as much as we do! Whilst we are figuring out what to do instead, I want to take you on a whistle-stop tour of italy! How do Rome, Florence, Venice and Naples sound? Pretty blimming good to me!! Josie has been super…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Mind the piles of demo boxes and stuff as you come in though! Looks like it’s been burgled in here!! I really ought to have a quick tidy up before tomorrow morning. The Birthday celebrations start officially on Friday at 10am, but we’ve got 2 live hours of Pergamano tomorrow before that, and we’re SKYPING LIVE into the studios from the SHAC SHACK! The Pergamano Shows: Thursday 3rd 11am (Barb) Clever Baubles and Snowflakes…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. How has your day been? Mine has been great so far, so I won’t spoil it be worrying that I didn’t get enough TV prep done. It just takes as long as it takes. What I have done is fine – and certainly enough to get the Birthday launch ball rolling! I still want to do a little bit to my SHAC-Shack eagles before end of play today, and then I can get a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hope you are enjoying this Bank Holiday Monday? When the building is empty it is a perfect opportunity to get some work done! Whilst Dave worked in one part of the factory, doing stuff he can’t do when the staff are in, Paul and I used the quiet space in the office to make a demo plan for the BIG Birthday Weekend on TV coming up. We’ve had a lot of help from our…
Hello there! Thank you for popping in. Remember I told you about our little shopping expedition last week? When I took Mum to Marks & Sparks for the first time since lockdown? Well, it being the first time I had been to a proper supermarket since March too, I think I got a little over exuberant, and bought way too much fresh fruit ! Way too much of everything really. Oooh Plums! Oooh Cherries! Oooh Mango! etc etc etc. 3…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s GRAY DAY today. The colour GRAY that is. Or Grey – whichever works for you! Was clearing away the Mandala demos in the SHAC in readiness for next weeks Birthday Marathon on HOCHANDA, and got caught in a shady spot… You know when you should be doing one thing, but the hands just start doing something else? Well, I was supposed to be filing all the arty bits away for a rainy day,…
Hi there Thanks for joining me. How quickly did today fly by? One minute you’re putting your lippy on, getting all ready set go for the 9am SKYPE TV show. The next minute, major rush of blood to the head when the sound dies and you lose the SKYPE connection. Can’t hear Paula, can’t hear anybody. Nada. By the time you re-establish the SKYPE connection, the stamps have pretty much sold out and the job’s done. The hour was over…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Partial Art. Is that a thing? Well, it is now! I hereby dub all partially used stamp images PARTIAL ART!! Shall I copyright it? Shall I hereby decree that PARTIAL ART has nothing to do with MARTIAL ART but everything to do with stamping! Tomorrow at 9am (and then again at 1pm) on HOCHANDA.com (best little Craft TV channel in the world) I shall be having a play with the whole idea of only…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just for today, I will enjoy today. I had a great morning in the SHAC Shack with my doodling buddies. Next stop pottery. Got some pots to turn and some pots to titivate before they go in the kiln. Then head over to my parents with Dave, and take Mum out to MarksnSparks for our first Supermarket excursion since lockdown in March. Got to be done. I can feel it’s time. I have prepped…
